Abstract

A one-dimensional, four-mass model was used to investigate tendencies of several parameters on passenger acceleration in a motor vehicle struck from the side. Parameters are a.o. the speed, the rigidity of the external structure of the striking and of the struck vehicle, the hardness of the interior door cushioning, and the thickness of the door.
